Originally posted by ZiFusion i like 360 because i can play most of the games i liked from older consoles on it. my fav games are mass

I have resisted purchasing COD 4 because it will take most of the night to install via Steam. Are you saying that COD 4 is really that good?

What about all you other guys? I thought COD 4 was just another multiplayer - which I am not interested in.

I would have to say my favorite all time game system was the ps2.
And I have lived through them all.
Right down to pong.
and the apple II.

The ps1 also was very good.
Loved the SNES!
I still have my original nintendo in my moms garage,but it is shaped like a V cause I stomped on it when I was either playing a game or arguing with
the x over me playing the game

I was a diehard nintendo fan until the playstation came along.

I love my xbox 360,but don't play games like I used to.
My last good pc was an awesome game system in itself,
but that went poof.
*twitch*

I still have an old Atari 2600, and about 50 games for it.
I guess, back in the day, this was really probably one of the best systems for both being innovative (as most people's first home console), and
having a large library of games.

Sure, it looks primitive as hell, but still fun to play. I keep threatening to hook it up, but I've got most of my favorite old games now in a
version that plays on existing consoles.

The N64 just blew me away when it first came out, with Mario 64. And Goldeneye 64 is still one of the most fun games to play...or pod racing in Star
Wars with two controllers, each one controlling an engine...just brilliant stuff. The modern controllers all took a LOT of things off of N64's
controller....

I liked the atari, it was like a status symbol for kids. One of my moms friends had one when I was around 5 or 6 so that would of been mid 70's, but
they were very rich. Back then I think the system was beyond most people being able to afford. That was the first time I ever saw a game system. What
really got me hooked was the arcade machines. Once they got some good games like stargate and Mr Do, I became a arcade junky. Spend a lot of money
there. lol

Shoot, now, if you have a pc you can emulate everything, so it is just a matter of finding what kind of controller you want on your computer more than
anything else.

I never played the n64 much, other than goldeneye 007. That was so smooth, but I noticed that the n-64 made me feel like I was in a box for some
reason. I never had that feeling with the playstation.

I haven't played Skyrim yet, I have a $50 gamestop gift card, and that is what I plan on getting with it.
Oblivion was/is awesome. I was lost in that world for over a year. lol

It is amazing how far we have come. I agree.
I also love the fact that lots of us grew up and watched the adult video game industry flourish with us as we got older.

Bigger and badder things to blow up, kill and destroy. Big boys toys! I love it.
I am geared towards rpg's myself and although I have not played one yet that was as good as ff 7,
I have played plenty that come close! I just hope the gaming content doesn't lose out to flashy graphics. That was a problem the ps2 had at first.

PlayStation 2 >is< the best system of all time. Including sales and number of games and in the games the amount of successful games, playability,
accessories, it can go on. It dominated since 2000, to what.. was still making games in 2011 but approximately when ps3 came out but its still one of
the best system..

My favorite is definitely the NES. I have many good memories playing the original NES with my family as a kid.... too many hours to even begin to
count! Unfortunately, i pawned all my games growing up to buy 'cigarettes' and beer

This was a costly mistake, as i have been actively buying all
my collection back since about 4 months ago.

I'm having fun now though, hunting games on Craigslist, flea markets and thrift stores.... it's like a hobby now

I'm a pretty picky collector
though, games have to be mint condition CiB (complete in box) and only English writing.. I come from the Quebec province just on the border to Ottawa
so some games had bilingual covers and a big no no for my collection.

I really enjoy the Game Boy Advance SP, i recently picked up the Classic NES GBA for 10$ (score!). I've been building a collection of boxed games for
this system as well, since i had a blue GBA for quite a quite now and a few games for it.

Nice

TurboGrafx-16 and the Neo Geo are some of my other top systems, harder to collect for also...
